Insight from Rayzeek

The latest sensor tech trends.

A professional in a business suit sits inside a glass-walled office pod and waves a hand toward the ceiling sensor. The small booth is illuminated by a cool overhead light while the surrounding open office remains dim.

The Waving Hand of Shame: Why Phone Booth Sensors Fail Deep Work

Rayzeek explains why phone booth sensors miss minor motion, causing unexpected darkness during deep work. The piece surveys Dual-Tech and microphonic fixes and argues for user-first lighting that keeps focus intact.

A round frosted glass ceiling fixture emits a faint, warm orange glow against a pitch-black ceiling. Below the fixture, a dark hallway leads to a distant rectangular window filled with cool blue light.

Rayzeek in No-Neutral Homes: The Physics of the Flicker Trap

Rayzeek dives into why no-neutral sensors can flicker with LEDs in older homes and how leakage current, minimum load, and bulb choice shape the result. The guide covers practical fixes from bypass capacitors to safer wiring choices, helping you keep lighting steady.

A thick cloud of white mist rolls across a concrete floor, entering from beneath a closed side door in a dark garage. The low-lying fog spreads into the room, contrasting with the shadows of shelves and the overhead door track.

The Invisible Intruder: Why Your Garage Sensor Lies to You

Rayzeek explains why garage motion alerts often fire from drafts and warm air, not intruders. A PIR sensor acts as a low-resolution thermal camera, so door seams, heaters, and gusts can trigger ghost alarms and erode trust.

A man sits at a desk in a darkened office, illuminated only by dual computer monitors, raising one hand to activate a motion sensor. The background shows a city skyline at night through large glass windows.

The “Tape-Over” Audit: Commissioning Rayzeek Sensors to Survive Reality

Rayzeek sensors must be commissioned for real occupants, not showroom defaults. Tune for humans, not watts, and keep the tape in the truck.

Tall metal bookshelves line both sides of a long, carpeted aisle in a library. A continuous strip of overhead lighting extends down the center of the ceiling, illuminating the colorful spines of the books.

The Dark Tunnel Problem: Lighting Library Stacks Without the Gloom

Lighting library stacks requires focusing on vertical surfaces, not floor brightness. The piece explains how batwing optics, proper sensor strategies, and dim-to-warm controls improve visibility, reduce glare, and protect archival materials while saving energy.

A narrow room features a wall of gray digital lockers on the left and metal shelving units filled with parcels on the right. Cardboard boxes are stacked haphazardly on the floor in the center aisle under cool, dim ceiling lights.

The Package Room Paradox: Why “Smart” Sensors Leave Residents in the Dark

Rayzeek explains why typical package room sensors leave residents in the dark, and how Dual-Technology (PIR plus Ultrasonic) sensing keeps lights on when lockers block sight. The approach avoids cloud dependence and aligns safety with energy efficiency in obstructed spaces.
